Карен Хорни цитаты

„Наконец, хотя идеализированный образ и создан для того, чтобы избавиться от базисного конфликта, ив узком смысле преуспевает в этом, в то же самое время он порождает новый раскол личности.“

Эта цитата ждет обзора.

„Ребенок может вынести очень многое из того, что часто относится к травматическим факторам, — внезапное отнятие от груди, периодические побои, переживания на сексуальной почве, — но все это до тех пор, пока в душе он чувствует, что является желанным и любимым.“

Карен Хорни: Цитаты на английском языке

“It is amazing how obtuse otherwise intelligent patients can become when it is a matter of seeing the inevitability of cause and effect in psychic matters.”

“If you want to be proud of yourself, then do things in which you can take pride”

Karen Horney книга Neurosis and Human Growth

Neurosis and Human Growth (1950), Chapter 2, Neurotic Claims
Контексте: It is amazing how obtuse otherwise intelligent patients can become when it is a matter of seeing the inevitability of cause and effect in psychic matters. I am thinking of rather self-evident connections such as these: if we want to achieve something, we must put in work; if we want to become independent, we must strive toward assuming responsibility for ourselves. Or: so long as we are arrogant, we will be vulnerable. Or: so long as we do not love ourselves, we cannot possibly believe that others love us, and must by necessity be suspicious toward any assertion of love. Patients presented with such sequences of cause and effect may start to argue, to become befogged or evasive.

“A person so shut out from every possibility of happiness would have to be a veritable angel if he did not feel hatred toward a world he cannot belong to.”

“To find a mountain path all by oneself gives a greater feeling of strength than to take a path that is shown.”

The Neurotic Personality of Our Time (1937), pp. 227–228
Контексте: [The neurotic] feels caught in a cellar with many doors, and whichever door he opens leads only into new darkness. And all the time he knows that others are walking outside in sunshine. I do not believe that one can understand any severe neurosis without recognizing the paralyzing hopelessness which it contains. … It may be difficult then to see that behind all the odd vanities, demands, hostilities, there is a human being who suffers, who feels forever excluded from all that makes life desirable, who knows that even if he gets what he wants he cannot enjoy it. When one recognizes the existence of all this hopelessness it should not be difficult to understand what appears to be an excessive aggressiveness or even meanness, unexplainable by the particular situation. A person so shut out from every possibility of happiness would have to be a veritable angel if he did not feel hatred toward a world he cannot belong to.
